Abstract

I can think of some kitchenfailures (overcooked pork chops, inediblehalibut) I've encountered around town,but I liked chef Emily Yuen's Japanesebeef-curry potpie at Lingo (27 GreenpointAve., nr. STRATEGIST FOOD THE YEAR I ATE NEW YORK Our diner-at-large looks back on six months oftinned fish, Little Gem salads, and beef-curry potpies I'VE BEEN EATING New York for halfa year now, and while some nightshave come close to perfection--Eyval's(25 Bogart St., at Varet St., Bushwick;eyvalnyc.com) dynamic vision of Persianfood; the casual opulence of St. Jardim(183 W. 10th St., at 4th St.; stjardimnyc.com)and Place des Fêtes (212 Greene Ave.,nr. Finally, I've been critical of Bad Roman(10 Columbus Cir., inside the Shops atColumbus Circle; badromannyc.com),which takes some wine-bar tropes andinflates them to match its mall-size ambitions,but I can say that the desserts--trompe-l'oeillemon cheesecake fashionedto resemble fresh-picked citrus, iceboxtiramisu cake that was like the Italian versionof Fudgie the Whale--were the mostsuccessful encapsulations of what this restaurantwants to be: irreverent, playful,and straightforwardly delicious.

Abstract

Consisting of 11 chapters, I Prehistoric Quarries and Terranes i is a well-researched book for archaeologists interested in recording toolstone quarries. Because Shott's methods can be applied to other quarries worldwide, even non-obsidian ones, I can foresee a future study assessing how many tools were made from quarries throughout the greater Southwest. In his latest book, I Prehistoric Quarries and Terranes: The Modena and Tempiute Obsidian Sources of the American Great Basin i , Michael J. Shott argues that recording quarries is worthwhile and provides methods to alleviate some of the challenges. [Extracted from the article]

12. Olmec Lithic Economy at San Lorenzo.

Author

Knight, Charles L. F.

Subjects
*STONE implements, *OBSIDIAN
Abstract

Chapter 10 summarizes the results and concludes that prismatic blade production and adoption at San Lorenzo, even with local production at the Malpica workshop, reflects independent organization and development. Chapters 5 and 6 address the production, distribution, and consumption of obsidian at San Lorenzo, with a focus on the Malpica blade workshop. Even then, Malpica blade production did not account for all blades consumed at the site, indicating that several procurement networks of obsidian blades and of raw obsidian for flakes were in operation simultaneously.

16. Paradise Lost.

Author

Hamnett, Alun

Subjects
PARADISE, OBSIDIAN
Abstract

Grandiose strings mix with campy gothic theatrics and death growls in a manner that feels rather forced, and when the big push arrives - in the shape of chugging power chords - it's over-done, and it underwhelms. In a very Spinal Tap move, the band have opted to title their latest album, Obsidian - literally, a type of rock. Here, the band attempt to join the dots between their different eras, and welcome back some kitsch elements. [Extracted from the article]
